Two mine sites on Boonville’s west side
The Mine Safety and Health Administration lists Addcar System 38, a coal mine 3.4 miles west of Boonville, and Liberty Mine, a coal mine 4.4 miles to the north-west. A tractor or dump truck that has hauled from either site is often still parked at a yard on that side of town. Give us the street address or the lot, and the name of whoever holds the gate key, and we will plan the collection around that spot.
Further out, the I-69 Sand Pit sits 13.9 miles south-west, according to MSHA’s mine listings. Aggregate haulers kept near the interstate do not need to be brought into Boonville first. Send photos of the cab, the bed or trailer and the plate, plus the VIN, and say which site the truck usually sits at.
West along the line to WANSFORD and the tank racks
Two rail yards appear on the North American Rail Network west of town: WANSFORD at 13.7 miles and BIDS TERMINAL at 14.4 miles, a set kept by the Federal Railroad Administration and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Day cabs that shuttle loads to those yards can be collected on the Evansville side if that is where they are kept, so tell us which yard the truck worked and where it is usually parked.
Petroleum product terminals named EVANSVILLE stand roughly 17.8 and 18 miles west, the Energy Information Administration shows, and the Bureau of Transportation Statistics adds a liquid bulk terminal at 18 miles. If your tractor has pulled tankers to those racks, keep its terminal access paperwork and any inspection reports with the title. Those papers show where the truck has worked in a way a photo cannot.
Small local outfits and a few bigger fleets
Of the 105 Boonville carriers active in FMCSA’s census, 72 stay inside Indiana, 33 haul across state lines and 76 carry only their own owners’ goods. Most sellers here are therefore a farm, a contractor or a business with a truck or two, not a dispatch office. Whoever’s name is on the title is the person we need to sign, so check that before you call.
The three biggest operations in that same FMCSA census run 40, 32 and 22 power units. FMCSA’s filings also show 268 drivers working within 100 miles and 65 going beyond it. If you are selling several units from one yard, list each VIN and where each one is parked; we can arrange them as one collection.
Lowboys, log trucks and hoppers off Warrick roads
Of the carriers listed with FMCSA in Boonville, 32 declare general freight, 26 machinery and large objects, 18 logs, poles, beams and lumber, and 14 grain, feed and hay. That spread covers box trucks, lowboy tractors, log trucks and grain hoppers alike. Tell us the body type and the trailer, if any, that goes with the sale.
Corn, soybeans and cattle lead across the 335 Warrick County farms that USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture tallied around Boonville. Grain trucks on those farms often sit in a machine shed between harvests. A barn or field location is fine for pickup; just tell us whether a tow truck can reach it in wet weather and who will be there to meet us.
Plant work and construction around town
Boonville had 3,955 jobs in 2023 in the Census Bureau’s LEHD counts, 386 of them in manufacturing and 72 in construction. Trucks serving those plants and sites are often registered to the business rather than a person. If yours is in a company name, have the officer who can sign for it ready, along with the registration.
Thirty Boonville construction firms appear in the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns, each a likely owner of a dump or flatbed. Dump trucks and flatbeds working for builders may sit on a job site when you decide to sell. Give us that site’s address and any access hours, and send a photo of the odometer and the VIN plate.
Model years on Warrick County scales and pull-offs
Between September 2024 and August 2026, FMCSA roadside inspectors stopped 52 trucks from Boonville carriers, and the middle model year among them was 2017. Just under a third of those FMCSA-inspected Boonville rigs, 32.7 percent, carried a model year ten or more years back. A 2017 tractor or an older grain truck off a Warrick farm goes through the same steps: title, Indiana registration and whatever shop records you kept.
Thirty-six Boonville carriers gave FMCSA mileage figures, and their median comes to 11,233 miles per truck annually. Have the current odometer reading handy when you contact us, together with the year, make and model, so the first conversation covers everything we need.
The questions we get asked in Boonville
- My truck is parked out by the coal mines west of Boonville. Must I haul it from the Liberty Mine side into Boonville proper?Addcar System 38 lies 3.4 miles west of town and Liberty Mine 4.4 miles north-west, per the Mine Safety and Health Administration, and a truck parked near either stays where it is. Name the mine-side lot and who can let our driver in off the haul road.
- The Indiana title for my Warrick County dump truck can’t be found; which office replaces it?Indiana’s state title agency issues a replacement title for a Boonville truck whose original is lost. Start the replacement before we schedule collection, and tell us it is in progress when you get in touch.
- Will you take a corn or soybean hauler off a farm outside Boonville?Warrick County’s 335 farms, counted in USDA’s 2022 Census of Agriculture, grow mostly corn and soybeans and raise cattle, and grain trucks from those farms are trucks we buy. Tell us where on the farm it is kept and send photos of the bed and cab.
